Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The elongate ilisha Ilisha elongata is an economically important species broadly distributed from the Western Pacific to the Java Sea off Sarawak. The fishery of elongate ilisha has been declining in recent years in terms of total catch, size of harvested fish, as well as absence of the fish from previously distributed areas. The knowledge about population structure and genetic diversity of elongate ilisha is important for managing sustainable fisheries. Only two studies have investigated the population genetics of elongate ilisha but both with limited sampling. In the present study, we sampled 16 sites from the coast of China, Korea and Japan. We sequenced the whole mitochondrial control region (D-loop), which showed a remarkably high polymorphism. The average haplotype diversity was 0.98 and the nucleotide diversity (π) was 0.006. Neutrality tests suggested past population expansions. Populations were weakly differentiated (Φ = 0.0612). This result, together with a lack of association between clades and locations (R = 0.0591), indicated a weak population structure of the elongate ilisha. The only exception was from the population of Dandong in the West Korean Bay, which was different from all other populations in its D-loop sequence. We did not find genetic differences between the fish with a bottom-sword caudal fin and the fish with a double-sword caudal fin.
